Generator Maintenance

The Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada is seeking contractors to perform comprehensive maintenance on five emergency generators located at multiple federal buildings in Ottawa, Ontario, including sites numbered 94, 2E, 103, 119, and 102. Work must comply with CSA C282-15 standards and include weekly, monthly, and semi-annual inspections, load bank testing, automatic transfer switch operations, and evaluation of batteries, control panels, and generator room conditions, with all electrical tasks performed by licensed electricians. Performance must meet strict technical criteria, including documented inspections, corrective action records, and proof of system performance under a minimum 30% rated load for 60 minutes monthly. All materials must be UL, ULC, or CSA approved, and work must be available within 48 hours of request. The contract term is one year with a one-year option, and services must be delivered at the specified Ottawa locations. Solicitation ISED214811, posted on May 4, 2026, with a response deadline of the same day at 14:00 EST, requires proposers to submit a three-part offer: technical, financial, and declaration forms, all electronically via the Government Electronic Tendering Service. Evaluation follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable model, where technical compliance is mandatory and pass/fail, and award goes to the lowest-priced fully compliant bidder. The Contracting Authority, Jessica Cadieux, serves as the primary point of contact and acts as the Procurement Contracting Officer, with no separate COR or COTR assigned. Payment will be made electronically via direct deposit after submission of properly formatted invoices containing the Procurement Business Number, Client Reference Number, and applicable taxes, though specific accounting codes and payment platforms will be determined at award. Contractors must adhere to strict conflict of interest provisions, ethical standards, and audit requirements, maintaining detailed records for the duration of the contract and beyond. All offerors must complete the Offeror Declaration Form, certifying compliance with the Ineligibility and Suspension Policy, the Code of Conduct for Procurement, and participation in the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity, with failure to certify triggering a requirement to submit an Integrity Declaration Form. No packaging, labeling, or barcoding requirements are specified, and no socioeconomic or small business set-asides apply.
